What will be an ideal response?


Health fitness standards are the lowest fitness requirements for maintaining good health, decreasing the risk for chronic diseases, and lowering the incidence of muscular/skeletal injuries. Attaining the health fitness standards requires only moderate amounts of physical activity. The physical fitness standard is set higher than the health fitness standard and requires a more vigorous exercise program. Physical fitness standards are required criteria to achieve a high level of physical fitness and the ability to do moderate-to vigorous physical activity without undue fatigue.
